Columbia, S.C. (June 26, 2025) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation has made plans to accelerate the replacement of the bridge on S-2-105 (Old Vaucluse Road) over Interstate 20 in Aiken County. The new bridge will replace the one that was damaged beyond repair by a strike and fire earlier this month.
Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell said, "After demolishing the damaged bridge and reopening the interstate in just 36 hours following the strike, our team is hard at work to get the new bridge designed and constructed. We are committed to getting the bridge replaced by this time next year and to minimizing traffic disruptions on the interstate during construction. We appreciate the hard work of our contractors and the patience of our community members."
